Top Phoenix Lake Hotel Reviews

Villa Inn

8/10 Good

"It was in a quiet neighborhood and the room was clean, although outdated and one of the lights didn't work. The bed was sub-par and made a sqeaky noise if there was any movement. I wouldn't recommend this place."

Relax in Fairfax quiet cottage in the redwoods.

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay in the rustic cabin in the redwoods. It was very peaceful and quiet. Teresa was a responsive and helpful host. It is clear from many nice touches that care was taken to provide a comfortable, relaxed stay. There was plenty of hot water and several ways to make coffee. The kitchen is small but has everything needed to make and store food. The living area is furnished with a warm homey feel. Other than the bedroom being a bit tight and the bathroom being a bit small, the stay was just right for our visit. The location is within walking distance of the downtown."

Cozy 2-bedroom house in charming San Rafael with AC, WiFi

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean facility with "tons" of glasses, pots knives, Braun coffee maker, female touch to it with flowers on the table and greeting in the refrigerator, great wooded area close to the treasures of the area but also shopping and a brewery restaurant with a rustic flair. And neither Napa, Sonoma or San Fran are too far awayWould have wished for king size beds but the existing supply was rather comfortable.We will come back if we will have a chance, THANK YOU again, Christina"

Centrally located Craftsman home

10/10 Excellent

"This home was great, top to bottom. Everything worked which is amazing in a VRBO. It was one of the most incredible rentals we have ever had. Our host Jeff was very friendly and easy to work with This house is walking distance from both Fairfax and San Anselmo. We used the hot tub, the gas grill and the patio which was nice. The house accommodates up to 6 people and a dog very easily. We spent a month there and it really felt like home after a few days. I give this VRBO a 5 star rating and we would definitely stay there again."

Gorgeous 2Bd + Loft with Deck and Gardens. Soaring 20 ft ceilings, huge windows!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at this house, and it was just as wonderful as the first time. We plan to be back. The location is perfect, the house is bright and beautiful, the big lawn area in front is perfect if you have a small/medium dog. And the host is very responsive."

Charming Kentfield Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This home is magazine level gorgeous. We stayed during the summer and the outside patio and grassy area were wonderful for barbequing. The open concept kitchen, dining and family room area is large and bright and airy. The master bedroom is like a suite at the Ritz Carlton. The other three rooms at the back of the house felt a bit cut-off but were well appointed. The bunk bed was too small for our 6 foot tall teenager and the host graciously offered to deliver another bed and helped us work it out. The tv doesn't have basic cable, everything is streamed from an app on your device so it was difficult to watch the local news or sports. We had to download a Fox app for 20.99/month to watch the FIFA games. The driveway is steep and there is very little room to turn around so we ended up backing up the driveway. There is no AC so the hot days were uncomfortable although the house stayed somewhat cool with the doors closed. There was a lot of wildlife - the first night we were sitting outside by the firepit and an owl swooped down and landed on the roof practically right above our head. Another night a few coyotes were howling so loudly it startled us and then we saw one walk by the window. Lots of birds, squirrels, and racoons. The redwood trees around the property are gorgeous and when the wind blew through them, it was magical, as if we were in Tahoe. It's hard to believe this relaxing gem is sitting above bustling Marin. Wonderful hosts and a wonderful stay!"

Hilldale Studio - in the heart of Marin County

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely place with a very quirky parking spot. Once you figure out the parking it was terrific and felt like sleeping in a treehouse. We really enjoyed using the bicycles and the sauna, although both probably need a wee bit of attention as the bike handlebars could use new grip and the sauna water needed refreshing. Still this was a really great value."
